The BIRMINGHAM Boom !.

The Birmingham boom is being
examined by a clear-headed CORES
pendent of the New York Times
and while he finds there all the ell.
ements of substantial prosperity,
he calls the ruling r5al estate prices
exceedingly unsubstantial, Specu-
lators buy land with personal notes
mainly, and when purchasers begin
to look more sharply at their in
vestments and when these notes be-
gin to come due, there will be o Sc
rious panic. The mining interests,
upon which the growth Of Birming-
ham is based, cannot be said to be
in like peril. 1t is the city of real
estate spectators who are building
up a house of cards.-Covington

Governor KNOTT Rebuked.

Governor Knott has placed HIM
self in an unenviable attitude be-
fore the law-abiding and order-lov-
ing people. A man in this city
was indicted in twenty cases for
selling liquor without license-in
fact, he had no license, did not ask
for any license, but boldly detying
the law sold liquor. The Common
wealth Attorney had caused the de-
fendant's arrest and had him put
under bond of $3.50; and before
trial the Governor, with full
knowledge of the facts granted a
pardon, thus defeating the State,
the attorney and other officers of
the court, and turned the defendant
loose. Such action by the Cover
nor is very discouraging to courts,
attorneys and grand juries, and an
outrage on decent people.-Mt.

I WASH SO Glad I Wash Here.


Mr.. Moody, who does not believe thai
immersion is absolutely essential to bap.
tism, was holding protracted meeting
and one night preached on the subject o.
baptism. In the course of his remarks
he said that some believe it necessary tc
go down into the water and come up Out
of it to be baptized. But this he claimed
to be adoubtful question, for the prepo-
sition into, as used in the Scriptures
could be read differently. as 1t does moi
mean into at all times. "Moses. she said,
I'VE are told, went mp into the mountain
and the Saviour was taken up into high
mountain, etc. Now we do not suppose
either went into a mountain, but went
unto it. SO with going down into the
water; it might mean going down close
by or near TO the water and being bap-
TIED in the ordinary way, By sprinkling
or pouring" Mr.. Moody carried this
idea out fully, giving the impression that
repentance and conversion to God were
more essential than the particular form OF
baptism. This lett the new convertspe
feet liberty to join either the Episcopal,
Mett odist, Presbyterian or Baptist
church.
After Mr.. Moody had closed his dis
course an invitation was given for any
one so disposed to rise and express his
thoughts Quite number of the breth-
rem arose and sad they were glad they
had been present on thi, occasion, that
they We're we'll. pleased with the sound
sermon they had just heard, and felt
their souls greatly blessed. Finally a
corpulent gentleman, a stranger to all,
arose and broke the silence that was al
most painful, as follows:

PAINTING THE GAs.PIPEs RED.
Mayor Ames's Method OF Getting
Square with n Stingy store
HPpner.
[St. Paul GlObo.

lSN. Ihul OlObo.i
Mayor Ames yesterday took a walk
ND Nicollet avenue to inspect the illu
mination. At the corneEof Fifth street
his Honor passed and inspected with
some curiosity the gas-fxtures in front
of the sporting-goods store OF ", 1.
Best d Co. Mr.. Best, it should be
remembered, had for some reason
refused to stand his pro rata Of the ex-
pense Of the illumination, and when in
formation reached the Mayor his Honor
SAID that rather than have break III
the illumination he would bear Mr..
Rost's amount himself upon condition
that the fixtures should be painted a
bright red. When Mr.. Best, after
final appeal had been made, refused to
contribute to the illumination fund,
the Mayors offer was accepted and the
gas-pipos were painted Il rich carmlne.
i his unusual decoration attracted gene
raj attention to the fact that Mr.. Best
had refused to help the illumination,
ard resulted in no little amusement.
Mr.. Best was accordingly not in the
best Of lumor, and when heapproached
the Mayor he looked like man who
wanted to have trouble.
"Mr. Mayor" he said, haven't y
been too hasty
Flows that ?" asked the Mayor.
"Wly, having the gas-pipe in front
Of n store painted red, responded
Mr.. Best.
II don't see that I have" coolly
responded his Honor, Il am paying
for the expense OF that illumination,
ard OUGHT to be allowed to have the
uin,s painted any color I want to. l
don't see Why it should concern you.
You DO not own the sidewalk nor the
cutter, and are going to have the benefit
Of tie illumination at my expense. In
fact ! think it's rather cheeky of you
TO cyiticise my little private illumina-
tion. BY the way, | see you have been
scrnping the paint off. l will send a
man ND and have itpainted over again. .
Mr.. Best indicated that he intended
to sue the illumination committee.
"Don't sue the committee, said
the Mayor. "Sue me ordered those
pines PAINTED red. ] don't know You
nom a side of sole leather, and don't
want to oG'eud you personally.
told the committee I'd stand the eX-
rense of any one who refused to pay
| his assessment, aud that | wanted the
pipes painted red charged to me-
That's al there is to it.
By this time quite little crowd o.
SPECTATORS. who showed an inclination
TO applaud the Mayor, had gathered
and, noticing this. his Honor put al
end TO the controversy by walking
away.
